The food is of the absolutely highest quality, the side dishes are different, varied and creative, and the presentation is beautiful. I ordered Venison, and it was positiviely the best I have ever had.

Dave was a most gracious host/owner in making this birthday treat work for me and my wife. The complimentary bubbly at the outset was an unexpected treat but, by far and away, Dave excelled in the kitchen beyond our wildest expectations. The veal tenderloin and lamb chop entres were simply the best–and we tend to eat out a lot. And it was heartening to see that even on a Wednesday evening the place was jumpin’. Keep up the good work Dave and we’ll be back soon. Tom

I have never written a review after a dining experience but Sola was truly one of the most memorable meals we’ve had in a REALLY long time. We enjoy really good food, and every bite here was delicious. I had the tuna tartare and the lamb chops, both were exceptional. My husband had the gnocchi and the Cioppino (seafood stew) special and it was so tasty. Dessert was also wonderful – we shared the trio of creme brulee and the banana and brown sugar gelato, amazing. To top everything off, they even gave us a toast of Champagne as it was my husband’s birthday weekend. The staff was very friendly, from the hostess to our waiter, Tom. We will definitely be back, and feel so lucky to have this phenomenal restaurant in the neighborhood.

We found this beauty of a restaurant through Open Table. The food was extraordinary, from appetizer through dessert, including an amazing pear and celery root soup, gnocchi with tiny shrimp, a veal tenderloin that my wife called, “the best piece of meat I have ever had in a restaurant”, a perfectly done rack of lamb. the first ricotta cheese cake (with orange) I have ever truly loved, and a delicious almond financier with pear.
Service was attentive and well paced, ambience was fine, and the price for a five star meal for two was actually on the low side for comparable restaurants!
Highly recommended!!

Absolutely the best fine dining on the Main Line. All the dishes had a creative edge reflecting a very talented chef. The menu was small, but I wanted to order everything. The price was right for this level of food and decor.

5 of us went to Sola on Saturday night. It was my 3rd trip and there will be more. Sola, in a word, is wonderful; the best restaurant in the area. We ordered the pork (x2), salmon, striped bass, and scallops and all were well prepared. The salmon was the hit of the table. We expected the usual filet with some kind of sauce. I can’t explain what the chef created and presented on the plate. It was original, creative, and delicious. Appetetizers and desserts had the same high quality. And the service was perfect; no one hovered annoyingly over our shoulders, nor did we have to go looking for anyone. Sola is it!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Sola. This was our first time there, but we went with friends who have been many times and rate it as one of their favorites. I brought a sparkling wine, a couple of bottles of red, and a dessert wine and the restaurant had all the appropriate glassware and even a filter for my old corks! We will definitely return.

Sola was in one word “amazing”. Chef David’s Lobster Soup , Wagyu Beef, and the short ribs were delicious. It was our second wedding anniversary and chef david and his staff made it so memorable. This is a MUST For all foodies. Thank You Sola

As usual – great meal and great service including wine service. Very busy for a Tuesday evening in the summer. Highly recommend Sola to everyone. Why look elsewhere???
